Create an Apache licensed IDL compiler
--------------------------------------

         Key: GERONIMO-1485
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1485
     Project: Geronimo
        Type: New Feature
  Components: CORBA  
    Versions: Wish List    
    Reporter: Anders Hessellund Jensen


ORB providers generally supplies an IDL compiler along with the ORB. Currently 
no Apache licensed IDL compilers exists, so I think we should write one.

There is an antlr grammar for IDL published here: 
http://www.antlr.org/grammar/1072891676218/idl.g . Assuming the license on this 
grammar is compatible with the Apache License, this would be a great starting 
point for implementing the compiler.

The compiler should probably target version 3.0 of the CORBA spec, and version 
1.2 of the IDL-to-JAVA spec.

This task is completely self-contained, it does not rely on the development of 
the ORB itself.
